This is the best comparison on these 2 products available today. I've been doing nonstop research deciding between a UDM Pro and Netgate 2100 for home use. Everyone seems to agree that pfsense is superior and has features that UDM does not, but never a great detail of those features. THANK YOU for being thorough. After seeing this, I've actually decided to get a UDM Pro because I already run UNIFI APs, switches and a self hosted controller. Now I know what features of pfsense that I won't be missing.

Great job on the comparison vid. As you know, I don’t do many UDMPRO deployments, but the few that I’ve done have been successful. You hit it right on the nose, selecting the appropriate tech to get the job done.

Right tool for the right job, that's for sure. Both are good options based on that recommendation. The kicker is, I had ERPro8, used CK2+ for a while, managed to finally snap up a UDM Pro (non-SE) recently. ERPro8 now decommissioned although vastly, vastly more configurable. The 2100 is different league. Most likely, I will eventually end up with a Netgate device in front, when I get things stabilized with the new business startup. Thanks for the compare!

Great video Willie. You know i'm a huge fan of the UDM Pros they work great for the businesses that I have deployed them. I also really like the Netgate appliances. Like you said right tool for the job

The big seller for me to jump to PFsense was the ability to always be current and up to date with PFBlocker and Suricata. Felt UI was always behind and I had to just take what they offered. though I miss the ecosystem and all my smart switches plugs and power strips.

Great comparison, thanks. I even found out about features I didn't know before, like Antivirus proxy (just got a small Negate for my home). One nitpick/note: On the point about traffic shaping you missed to mention that Unifi has limited support. It was a little confusing during the first watch, because you transitioned from Negate to Unifi without saying so. :)

Surprised you gave the UDMP and the 2100 checkboxes for supporting zerotier. They do? Interested in seeing a zerotier network demo between a UDMP, Netgate and OPNsense. It should be possible, right? Currently running a OPNSense box behind Starlink with zerotier after seeing your live stream zerotier demo and it works very well. Thanks for everything you do.

Did you state what OS version and Network App version you are using for the comparison? I believe that Ad blocking is now available, and high availability is in Early Release.
